Ten Thounsand chords by John Mark McMillan

Intro E  C#m7  Bsus  E  A  E    C#m7  Bsus   E  A

E                                              A                 E
Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest
C#m7          Bsus                E            A
Ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath
E                                               A                    E
Of ten thousand weeping with wings on their tears
           C#m7             Bsus         E                   A
Amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years
         E                                            A                    E
For ten thousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched
        C#m7            Bsus          E                     A
Now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs
     E                                               A                E
Ten thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praises
     C#m7            Bsus         E                 A
Of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid

            B                                  C#m7
As the ten thousand highways unfold
          A                   B                                      C#m7        A
Their doors for the ten thousand standing on nineveh's shores
                 E
Where the blood of a husband
A             E                  A          B           E
Silences wars for the girl who rises to meet him

                        A                                    C#m7
And she sings world i've overcome you world i've overcome you
Bsus                                     A                                    Bsus
World i've overcome by my song and the blood of a son

      E                                    A                 E
But ten thousand rivers run red like my veins
                 C#m7      Bsus                  E         A
Where the bones of men hum like a rattling cage
     E                               A            E
For sinew to cling to for wind to remain
   C#m7              Bsus       E                   A
In ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days
      E                                    A                  E
I'm breathing like a choir of holes in the ground
                  C#m7         Bsus                  E              A
Where the cynical have lain where the cynical go down
                E                            A              E
Save the gravity time of  lets go of her drowned
              C#m7       Bsus            E                   A
Like ten thousand sparrows unlocked and unwound

             B                                  C#m7
As the ten thousand highways unfold
          A                   B                                      C#m7        A
Their doors for the ten thousand standing on nineveh's shores
                 E
Where the blood of a husband
A             E                  A          B           E
Silences wars for the girl who rises to meet him

                                 A                                    C#m7
And she sings world i've overcome you world i've overcome you
Bsus                                     A                                    Bsus
World i've overcome by my song and the blood of a son

Final E  C#m7  Bsus  E  A  E    C#m7  Bsus   E  A
